Total gross motor tax receipts and the number of motor tax transactions by year and duration of vehicle licence for each of the years requested are contained in Table 1. It should be noted that this does not equate to the total number of vehicles taxed in each of the years concerned, as some owners will have exercised more than on e option in a particular year and a breakdown of this data is not readily available. The total number of vehicles taxed at the end of December in each of the years concerned is contained in Table 2.
